Surface coating method for deposition of a chemically bonded ceramic coating on a substrate, comprising the steps of preparing a curable coating slurry, depositing a coating of the slurry on at least a section of the substrate surface, and hardening the slurry. According to the invention the step of preparing a curable coating slurry comprises mixing calcium aluminate powder with water and at least one water-reducing-agent, such that a water-to-cement ratio in the range of 0.1 to 0.9 is achieved. The invention further relates to a biocompatible surface coating with a binder phase of calcium aluminate hydrate and a device coated with such a biocompatible surface coating. |
